Whether this is true or not I don’t know but the skinny anime face is all makeup, his face IRL is very square.

Gakt is literally a character in final fantasy 7: crisis core.

As in, the villain is both modelled on and voiced by Gakt. Because the character designer really likes Gakt.

I am well aware of this. They took liberty to make him look anime.

I'm telling you, it's true. People grow from spores.
Not to continue the animals nuts derail but ya, I don't really know, it was 10 years ago and all I really remember was that I couldn't adopt and take my cats (brother and sister) home for a while because the were found in a bag in a dumpster by a construction worker just before they would have gotten crushed. They were pretty messed up and needed a lot of care. I know they don't de-claw anymore cause it's horrible for the animal, I thought maybe lopping off nuts was a thing that didn't happen as well, cause "ethics" or something. My bad.

Here have a slightly :nms: tattoo? Sort of real looking bullet wounds tattoo.

It's based on the schematic drawing from the movie which looks exactly like that.

Still not great but it's accurate to the source at least

Edit:

Best I could find with as much google as I'm willing to put into it that wasn't some other reproduction for sale on Etsy or whatever.

Based off of source material exactly, fine, but people are still going to ask that person every single time. “Sooo...who did that?”

And then they can show them that picture from the movie and they'll get it. I didn't even remember that specific scene from the movie before GISing it, but I got pretty much immediately what it's supposed to be and why it looks that way. It clearly looks like a purposely sketchy schematic, not a badly done tattoo job.

It's also upside down compared to every other rendition of the flux capacitor so people who don't immediately recognise it as that specific reference are also gonna think it's both lovely and the wrong way up.

So the worst you can say about it is that it's an obscure reference. I still don't think it's a bad or tasteless tattoo.

The worst is that it’s poor source material. obscure? Please. Any tattoo you have to explain why the lines are crap “no, it’s supposed to look that way!” Is a bad tattoo.

The BEST thing you can say about this awful rendering is that it's a replication of something. It's absolutely terrible though. A lovely idea artlessly and horrendously produced. Tattoos are primarily supposed to look nice, it's a visual art form.

I can't slam :yeah: more.

I called someone out on stealing a tattoo from a pretty well known artist and said something along the lines of "look at those wonky as gently caress lines, I'd be embarrassed to have that on my body and to have tattooed that on someone else" and the person said, almost verbatim, "I requested the lines to be that wonky!"

Like, drat, you're gaslighting yourself into believing you really want that stolen piece of trash on your body :psyduck:

Every sketch of the flux compressor online has the top line of the formula on the left as 4x4w.

Not 9x4a.

It's a bad tattoo tattooed badly.

up until 2009 he had not revealed his birth date and it was listed in marketing materials as "1540" bc he claimed to be a literal centuries-old vampire

i'm almost sad he let that conceit go, it really fits the whole 90's "Tom Cruise as Lestat" aesthetic he had going on

also while the music is real poo poo-level europop-y/goth mix stuff, I'll be hosed if the hook from this doesn't get stuck in my head at least once a year (the hook it takes an entire 2 MINUTES to get to jfc). check that 1997 japanese video editing lol

Mana had his whole own thing going on (didn't speak directly to people, only by whispering to other band members) and has his own Gothic Lolita clothing line.

Malice Mizer owns if you accept it as a theatrical performance versus a band. All of their videos, stage performances, etc. were massive productions.

I personally love Bel Air cause they got like 3 guitars playing at once and it’s pretty complex. Good song too. There’s like 3 songs I legit like by them but I can’t remember the names right now. They’re all from Gackt era not the new guy, Klaha, they got when Gackt left. Klaha era was bad.

And Mana loving rules.

Yeah their live shows are hardcore. In one Gackt flies in with these ENORMOUS black wings.
